Enhanced flexibility and smoother collaboration

Download r27.8

build: 191665 (released July 10 2024)

What's new?

We have expanded the flexibility of Designer by adding native support for the ProRes video codec.

Our latest software release can reduce complexity of content workflow pipelines due to the wide support of ProRes across toolsets, speeding up your content review and delivery and allowing for a smoother collaboration with all project stakeholders. Designer uses the ProRes Apple library ensuring playback of all ProRes variants, delivering optimal quality for your projects.

*ProRes decode is CPU based and we recommend checking your server playback benchmarks when deciding whether ProRes is appropriate for your show or production.

Release notes for r27.8

New features in r27.8
New Features
  • DSOF-17036 ProRes Support

ProRes video codecs are now supported for playout on Disguise. ProRes is a visually lossless codec that uses intra-frame compression, where each frame is stored independently and can be decoded with no dependencies on other frames.

Users are now able to playout the following ProRes codecs from Disguise:

  • ProRes 422
  • ProRes 422 HQ
  • ProRes 422 LT
  • ProRes 422 Proxy
  • ProRes 4444
  • ProRes 4444 XQ

ProRes RAW playback in Disguise is not supported.

ProRes video codecs are CPU-based. We recommend checking the video playback performance for the Disguise media server(s) when deciding whether ProRes is appropriate for your show or production.

Improvements
  • DSOF-22928 Allocate buffers through GpuPool

This improvement prevents an error message outlining that access to the GPU device was lost on the actor machine when many high-resolution Notch LC video layers are used.

  • DSOF-25479 Export profiles of GPU memory allocation

We have added profileGPUPoolFromLaunch as an option switch to enable users to trigger the creation of a memory profile so that they can understand the behaviour of a GPU pool for debugging purposes. This is exported as a .json file to a project folder called ‘output’. 

  • DSOF-27549 On Understudy machines, don't set output status to orange in the network status widget if the GUI is on.

  • DSOF-25712 - Requests in freelist no longer appear in the debug widget
  • DSOF-25718 - Fixed an issue where VariableVideoModule held a reference to the last frame used even when not active
  • DSOF-27157 - Texture parameters no longer switch places when using multiple texture parameters
  • DSOF-27261 - Fixed an issue where  CPU textures were constantly re-allocated while playing NotchLC blocks.
  • DSOF-25035 - Fixed an issue where the Shot Recorder with a note in parameter collection caused a problem on project restart
  • DSOF-25743 - Fixed an issue where EventTransportDmx did not highlight "Stop" in blue when it was selected, and Brightness was permanently highlighted when DMX is connected.
  • DSOF-27361 - Fixed an issue wherelLayers with missing media did not update the red highlight when the layer start is dragged earlier
  • DSOF-27468 DMX SockPuppet: 'DmxPersonality' object is not callable when attempting to 'View Personality' in Patch Settings widget
